Definitions
- TECHNICAL FIELD This invention relates to equipment for the sick and infirm and is concerned with improvements to a mobile drip stand of the type used for supporting liquids in pouches bottles and the like medical infusions.
- BACKGROUND ART Mobile drip stands are known and are generally used in hospitals and clinics for holding medical infusions next to patient's beds as well as for use when the patient walks or is pushed on a wheelchair or bed.
- Known stands are not suited to provide physical support for walking patient or for patients outside a clinic environment.
- a great need exists in poor countries for patient maintenance in clinics, because of the lack of beds.
- the invention seeks to provide a mobile drip stand that can do more than merely support medical infusions and provide aid to a patient.
- the invention provides a mobile drip stand comprising a wheeled chassis, a post mounted on the wheeled chassis and at least one stay extending laterally from the post for supporting a medical infusion, with the improvement of at least one laterally extending support arm for supporting a user.
- the wheeled chassis includes a plurality of wheels, some of which may swivel or be in the form of castors.
- the drip stand may be of components that can be disassembled in a desired manner.
- the stays and support arms may be removably mounted on the post and the post may be removably mounted on the chassis.
- the post is extendable, more preferably telescopically.
- the stays may be vertically adjustable along the post or fixed to an upper end thereof in use. These arrangements are provided for adjusting the height of the stay relative to a patient, needed to ensure desired infusion pressures, as required when the patient is prone, standing or seated.
- the support arm is mounted such that it is vertically adjustable in accordance with the needs of a patient.
- the drip stand may include support means for supporting further medical devices such as, an oxygen cylinder, a catheter and the like.
- the drip stand may include a seat for a user.
- the height of the seat is adjustable and preferably the seat is supported such that it can be moved between a seating position and a retracted position in which it is effectively out of the way of a user.
- the drip stand may further include a brake system.
- the brake system may act on the wheels or between the chassis and the ground.
- the brake system includes an actuating lever on the support arm.
- the chassis may comprise two elongate beams, the beams being spaced apart at a distance comfortably to allow a user to walk therebetween.
- the beams are preferably shaped and arranged in a wishbone configuration and may be connected together where they meet they mount the post.
- the drip stand may include a tray detachably mounted on one of the post or the support arm as desired.
- the drawing shows a drip stand 10 comprising a telescopic post 12, a wheeled chassis 14 supporting the post, stays 1 6 at the top of the post for supporting medical infusions, and two support arms 18 for supporting a mobile user.
- the support arms are configured in a wishbone arrangement.
- the wheeled chassis 14 comprises a pair of laterally spaced beams 20 in a wishbone arrangement, with a front wheel 22, two rear wheels 24, and two intermediate braking wheels 26.
- the beams are spaced apart to allow a user comfortably to walk between them.
- the front 22 and rear 24 wheels are castor wheels, ie. can pivot about a substantially vertical axis, to permit the chassis to be turned and steered.
- the intermediate wheels are not able to swivel so that they provide some stability to the unit when moved.
- the beams are each formed of two sections that can be detached for disassembly.
- a seat 28 is hinged to the post and is braced by an over-centre stay 29.
- the seat is movable between a seating position as shown and a stowed position adjacent the post.
- the seat may also be used as a tray.
- the drip stand 10 further includes a support 30 for removably mounting an oxygen cylinder (not shown) and the like and a hook 32 for supporting a catheter or colostomy bag (not shown).
- the post 12 comprises three telescopic sections 12.1 , 12.2 and 12.3 releasably lockable to one another by spring loaded pins that seat in registering holes.
- the stay is mounted on the upper section, the support arms on the central section and the seat on the lower section, so that the relative heights of the stay, support arms and seat can be adjusted as desired.
- Each support arm 14 has a portion 14.1 fixed to the post and a removable portion 14.2 that provides and armrest for a user.
- the armrest may be padded if desired.
- a brake system is provided for the unit.
- the brake system comprises two hand operable brake levers 36 pivotally mounted on the support arms, Bowden cables extending along the insides of the post and chassis beams towards the intermediate wheels and friction brake arms 38 pivotally mounted on the beams. Squeezing the levers causes the brake arms 38 to pivot and engage the intermediate wheels. Springs (not visible) bias each brake arm to a position clear of the wheel.
- a tray 34 is removably attached to the support arms 1 .
- the tray may be supported directly on the post if desired. Those ends of the cables associated with the brake arms are easily detachable from the cables to facilitate disassembling of the stand 10.
- the drip stand 10 can thus be employed to replace or supplement conventional trolley-like trays used in hospitals.
- the present invention thus provides a multi-purpose device which can relatively easily be disassembled to enable transportation thereof, for example, in the trunk of a vehicle.
- the brake system can also be foot operated.
- a handle may be provided for pulling the unit.
- the wheels can be motorised. Round instead of square tubing can be used for the construction of the unit.
